Why you should ditch your traditional eyelash curler for a heated one

Are you tired of spending hours wrestling with your traditional eyelash curler, only to achieve lackluster results? We have all been there, and prayed for that elusive lift and volume, all while avoiding crimps, pinches, and uneven curls. Enter, heated eyelash curler. 

Traditional eyelash curlers have been a staple in our make-up kits for generations. They rely on a mechanical clamp to curl the lashes, which often comes with its own set of challenges. On the other hand, a heated eyelash curler works in a fundamentally different way. Instead of relying on pressure to curl your lashes, these devices use gentle heat to shape them. The result? A more natural, long-lasting curl that effortlessly adds major life and volume to your lashes.

Benefits of using a heated eyelash curler over your traditional one

Effortless curling: Heated eyelash curlers are designed to make the curling process easy and hassle-free. They eliminate the need for excessive pressure or squeezing, as the heat softens the lashes, making them easier to curl. 

Long-lasting results: One of the primary benefits of a heated eyelash curler is that it can provide longer-lasting results compared to your traditional curlers. The heat helps to set the curls in place, ensuring that your lashes stay lifted throughout the day without drooping. 

Reduced risk of damage: Your traditional eyelash curlers can sometimes cause damage to your lashes, leading to brittleness and breakage over time. Heated curlers on the other hand are generally lighter on your lashes, reducing the risk of damage and preserving their health. 

Customisable heat levels: Many heated eyelash curlers come with adjustable heat settings, allowing you to choose the temperature that works best for your lash type and personal preference. This customisation feature ensures you can achieve your desired curl without exposing your lashes to excessive heat. 

Works on all eyelash types and is easy to apply: Heated eyelash curlers are suitable for a wide range of lash types, including short, long, straight, or stubborn lashes. With that, they also save you time during your morning routine. 

A step-by-step guide for using a heated eyelash curler: 

Step 1: Prepare your lashes 

Start with clean, dry lashes. Use a gentle make-up remover if you have any make-up on your lashes to ensure they are free from any mascara or any other product you might have used earlier. 

Step 2: Turn on the heated curler and wait for it to heat up 

Most heated eyelash curlers have a power button or a switch. Turn it on and wait for the curler to reach the desired temperature. You will typically know when it’s ready and reaches the desired heat level. 

Step 3: Position the heated curler and curl your lashes 

Hold the heated eyelash curler like you would hold a regular mascara wand, ensuring that it’s comfortable to use. Position the curler at the base of your lashes, close to your eyelid, but be cautious to not touch your eyelid to avoid burns. Then, hold the curler in place for a few seconds (around five to ten seconds) while your lashes are resting against the heated comb. This allows the heat to soften your lashes and set the curl. 

Pro Tip: If you’re looking to achieve a more dramatic curl, you can repeat this step on the middle and tip positions of your lashes, moving the curler slowly towards your tips. 

Step 4: Apply a mascara 

If you wish, you can apply mascara after using a heated eyelash curler for added volume and lift to your lashes.

Remember to exercise caution to avoid burning your eyelids or lashes and follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific device for the best results.
